More Control. Clearer Workflows. Richer AR Experiences.

iQ3Connect v2025.5.12 introduces a new level of control and flexibility in immersive training creation—making it easier to build structured interactions, streamline authoring workflows, and enhance both web and AR experiences. With the introduction of Events and key improvements across core actions, authors can now create more complex, guided interactions within simpler, more organized timelines.

This release is designed to reduce authoring complexity while giving creators greater precision and control over how users interact with training content.

What’s New in v2025.5.12:

  • Event-Based Interaction System – Create multiple conditional sub-steps within a single Step/Timeline using the new Event mechanism. Events act as containers for Actions that only execute when triggered, allowing for structured, sequential interactions (e.g., step-by-step object removal) without requiring multiple timelines. Events can also be chained together to build complex interaction flows with ease.

  • Full Authoring in AR – Author directly within AR environments with complete functionality—eliminating the need for workarounds or indirect editing methods and enabling a more intuitive and accurate AR workflow.

  • Advanced Move Action Controls – Define multiple movement points within a single Move Object action to create compound animations. Additional enhancements include position-based editing, editable coordinate input, and the ability to reset objects to their origin.

  • Enhanced Viewpoint Management – Save viewpoints directly from the Training Editor and control camera transitions with the new “travel duration” property, enabling smoother and more controlled navigation between viewpoints.

  • Improved Selection Behavior – Maintain object states during and after selection workflows. The Selection action no longer resets visibility during authoring, and applied properties such as highlighting or visibility changes persist after completing the selection.

With v2025.5.12, authors can build more interactive, guided, and efficient training experiences—while simplifying the overall creation and management process.

Faster Authoring. Smarter Deployment. More Interactive Training.

iQ3Connect v2025.5.9 introduces powerful new tools to streamline training creation and delivery. Authors can now add and customize 3D helper objects, build splash screens, menus, and quizzes directly in the Training Editor, and dynamically scale objects with enhanced visual controls. Publishing is now fully integrated into the authoring workflow with one-click deployment, live URL updates, and resource protection—making it easier than ever to create, manage, and deliver immersive training experiences.

Key Features in iQ3Connect v2025.5.9

  • Add and Customize 3D Helper Objects: Users and Authors can now instantly add and customize simple 3D helper objects—such as planes, boxes, spheres, arrows, and more—directly within the iQ3Connect Training Editor and Collaboration Workspace, making it faster and easier to create visual callouts, simple 3D objects, and instructional cues.
  • Integrated Splash Screens, Menus, and Quizzes: Authors can now create splash screens, menus, and quizzes directly within the iQ3Connect Training Editor—eliminating the need to design them externally in tools like Blender or PowerPoint.
  • Simplified and Secure Training Deployment: Publishing a training module is now seamlessly integrated into the authoring workflow, enabling authors to deploy training modules with a single click.
  • New Scaling Functionality: Dynamically and visually scale 3D objects with the new Scaling tool.
  • Clone Animations: Animations can now be copied directly within the Training Editor by right-clicking on the Animation resource and selecting the Clone option.

Immersive Training Just Got Even More Powerful

We’re excited to announce several new enhancements to the iQ3Connect platform in our 2025.5.4 release—designed to make immersive training faster to create, more realistic to experience, and easier to access than ever.

  • Gaussian Splats for Immersive Training: iQ3Connect now supports Gaussian Splats, enabling lifelike 3D virtual environments captured from photos and/or videos.

  • Rendering Improvements: 3D models now display more realistically with enhanced lighting, reflections, and color balance.

  • Easy-Access Experiences: Joining an experience is now even simpler. In addition to unique URLs, every experience now includes a 4-digit access code.

  • Smarter Multimedia Positioning Across Devices: Multimedia objects now automatically optimize their positioning and behavior based on the device being used.

Faster, Simpler, and More Intuitive Training Creation

Version 2025.5.1 introduces major usability enhancements designed to make immersive training creation faster and more approachable.

  • A New, Simplified Training Editor: Building training modules is now dramatically easier with our redesigned Training Editor.

  • Looping Animations: Animations can now be set to loop automatically.

  • Easier Setup of Selection-Based Interactions: Defining selection-based interactions is now more intuitive.

Explore iQ3Connect v2025.5.1 to experience faster authoring, clearer interactions, and a more intuitive workflow for creating immersive 3D training.
